Semicolon.js
You no longer need to put ; before your JavaScript code! Use Semicolon.js!!!
Installation
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/dchest/semicolon.js
or using Bower:
bower install semicolon
Usage
When you want to concatenate scripts, just add Semicolon.js for every file!
Example:
cat file1.js semicolon.js file2.js semicolon.js > out.js
T-Shirt
Buy a beautiful t-shirt with Semicolon.js logo! Because every JavaScript project must have a t-shirt! All proceeds will be donated to people who bought other stupid t-shirts.
FAQ
I don't get it.
Just stop putting a semicolon at the beginning of your code. Please.
Semicolons to terminate statements are good:
var x = 1;
return x;
A semicolon before the code to protect from people who can't concatenate files is a useless piece of junk:
;var x = 1;
return x;
Whaaaat?
Apparently some people believed that to fix improper concatenation of JavaScript files (in some cases they can't be safely concatenated); they needed to prepend semicolon to their code instead of properly concatenating files. Then other JavaScript developers read their code and continued this unfortunate tradition.
If you'll ever see this code:
;function()...
tell its author to use Semicolon.js instead of putting semicolon there.
How is it different from vapor.js or earlier semicolon.js?
These frameworks are jokes; my Semicolon.js is a real deal and comes with ideology (see above).
